A/N:MY DARLINGS! IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK :D I'm so so so so sorry I haven't updated for quite a bit. I got sidetracked, hehe...

Anyways, here's the next chapter :) Sorry it's so short. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 7: The Gerard Complex

Stealthily, Misaki snuck out the door and down the stairs to the back exit of the building. The last of the bodyguards hadn't left yet. This is my best bet, Misaki thought.

Springing forward, she closed the distance between her and the final car—one that would hopefully go in the same direction as the others. She skillfully pressed a thumb to the temples of the two bodyguards guarding the trunk, knocking them out before they could alert the driver.

Please, please, please don't notice, she prayed as she curled up in the trunk and slammed it shut.

Suddenly, the car lurched forward towards the other cars, and, as she had been hoping, exited through the same curb in the parking lot as Gerard's car had.

The car ride lasted over an hour, and Misaki was just beginning to think that the driver knew she was inside the car and was on some suicide mission to kill the both of them when they arrived at a complex of sumptuous buildings. Each of the buildings looked like a five-star hotel, with glass walls and flashy signs. As they neared one side of the complex, she was able to read one of the signs.

"The Gerard Complex," it said.

As they approached a gateway, the driver exited the car and punched a code into a keypad in front of the gold-tinted gates. Misaki jumped at the chance.

She busted out of the car, then landed a side-kick to the driver's chest. The driver fell to the floor, giving her enough time to get into the driver's seat and cruise through the gates to the Gerard Complex.

"Well, Usui," Gerard smirked, patting his brother's chest. "Aren't you glad to be here?"

Usui coughed up blood and slowly turned his head to take in his surroundings. "The… complex…" he stated, hoarsely.

"Yeah, bro," he chuckled. "You know what we do in this room, hm?"

As hard as he tried to hide it, Usui's eyes were filled with terror. Gerard clapped, gleeful as a result of his twin's frightened demeanor.

"We hold meetings with our darling grandfather!"

Three knocks echoed through the room, and Gerard suddenly stiffened and headed purposefully towards the door.

"Open up, you disappointment!" a gruff voice demanded, making him cringe. "You better have your brother with you or you'll wish you weren't my grandson. I know I wish you weren't."

Gerard formally opened the door, gesturing for his grandfather to enter. "Yes, grandfather, I do have Usui with me. He's right this way."

The old man smiled when he saw Usui's face. "My dear Takumi. How are you right now?"

A wry smile found its place on his lips. "Not… very well…" he whispered, "I don't… need to be… here…"

SMACK!

Usui's face was tattooed with a pink handprint. He winced, coughing up more blood on impact.

"YOU!" Grandfather bellowed, "YOU have had business at home for the longest time and you knew it! Handing the family business down to Gerard was the dumbest thing I ever did!"

Gerard sucked in an injured gasp.

"All I'm saying, my sweet, sweet Usui, is that you need to acknowledge your great place in this world. You were destined for greatness! But you won't take it. And we have narrowed it down to this."

Snap!

Grandfather snapped his fingers together, and Usui's eyes widened.

"No…" he gasped, choking on his own breath, "You… can't!"

Lying unconscious on the floor was a handcuffed, duct-taped Misaki.

A/N: MUAHAHAHA Okay so it wasn't that great of an ending but yeah.
